Bishop Canevin High School | NOVEMBER 2019
|
|
From Principal Michael Joyce
|
Greetings!
The content in this month's
Crusader Journal
is an emphatic declaration that Bishop Canevin is a community that actively lives and continually enhances its mission.
Our student body remains our greatest strength, as our students embrace the motto of doing all things
"For the greater glory of God."
The Bishop Canevin community should feel a great sense of pride that a sophomore can plan a major House fundraiser, or that a WPIAL Champion member of the volleyball team can also be a Eucharistic Minister, Mission Trip participant, National Honor Society inductee and House captain.
By restraining from labels, anchoring itself in faith, and providing limitless potential for growth and opportunities, Bishop Canevin facilitates the development of students into leaders and difference makers.
As alumni and supporters of Bishop Canevin we thank your advancement of our school, encourage you to listen to our current course of action outlined so passionately and articulately by Mrs. Rakackzy on the
Catholic Education Plus
radio program and be uplifted by the achievements of our students in the classroom and community.
Sincerely,
Michael Joyce
Principal

Ricci House Fundraiser Raises $600 for Emmaus Community of Pittsburgh
|
Bishop Canevin sophomore
George Shorthouse
developed the idea for a Haunted Mini Golf Outing in Crafton. The event raised $600 for Emmaus Community of Pittsburgh, which provides permanent homes, respite care, in-home services, and advocacy for people with intellectual disabilities and autism. The event was hosted by the Ricci House, one of four Houses at Bishop Canevin. The primary purpose of the House System is to further the mission of Bishop Canevin by providing Cura Personalis (greater pastoral care to all students) while strengthening our sense of community. The system also enables us to proactively develop each student's leadership skills.

On November 5, the Bishop Canevin Junior Class took a field trip to the Holocaust Memorial Center in Pittsburgh. The trip also included stops at two exhibits located at the Community Day School in Pittsburgh and on the lawn of the Cathedral of Learning. The theme of the day was remembering those who lost their lives in the Holocaust and being aware of the impact of this time in history.

Maziarz Named First Recipient of AMDG Award
|
Bishop Canevin is now recognizing students who exemplify the core values of our school motto -- AMDG,
For the Greater Glory of God
, which means directing everything back to God. The students selected for this recognition are phenomenal examples in the classroom, on the court or field, in our activities and in our ministry.
The first student to be selected for this recognition is senior
Maddie Maziarz
. Some of achievements include: she is captain of the third year running WPIAL Champions Volleyball team, a member of National Honor Society, an active participant in Junior Achievement, Student Ambassadors, International Club and a Rahner House captain. Maddie also served on Bishop Canevin's summer
Mission Trip
this past summer and was recently commissioned to be a Eucharistic Minister. Maddie is one of the two student representatives on the Bishop Canevin Middle States team and never fails to exhibit astounding leadership and grace in all that she does.
We are so proud that she is our first student to be selected for this recognition.

What Are Students in Bishop Canevin's Engineering R&D Class Up To?
|
Students in Bishop Canevin's Engineering R&D class are currently learning about generators and are designing a water turbine and generator so that a small amount of electricity can be generated from a pipe filled with flowing water. The project stemmed from an interest in electricity and magnetism and a desire to have a deeper understanding of how kinetic energy (the energy of motion) can be converted into electrical energy in a generator. By doing a hands-on project, the students will have a much deeper understanding of how electricity is generated than they would by just learning it from a book.
Bishop Canevin's Innovation Center is an ideal learning environment for this project. Students have state of the art computers to do research and design. They have the space needed to have tubs of water and connecting plumbing. For this project, they are designing their own turbines using Tinkercad (TM) and printing them on the Ultamaker 3D printer. This technology allows them to quickly modify and reprint various turbine designs so that they can quickly iterate to the best design.

Giving to Bishop Canevin High School
|
|
Want to support Bishop Canevin High School?
Here are our two current fundraising priorities . . .
|
|
In this season of giving, we ask that you consider donating to one or both of our two fundraising priorities - the
Bishop Canevin Fund and
Michael Maloney, '72 Fitness Center.
|
|
 |
Bishop Canevin Fund
Donations - of any amount - to the Bishop Canevin Fund gives us the ability to
improve educational programs
and
increase tuition assistance
. These two areas - quality and affordability - drive enrollment in a competitive marketplace. Your gift impacts Canevin’s growth, as these donations give students who otherwise would not be able to attend the financial support to do so.
|
|
|
|
New Fitness Center
Bishop Canevin has been given a very generous donation to create a Fitness Center in memory of
Michael Maloney, ’72
. The lead gift covers nearly 60% of the $185,000 renovation, which means we need $76,000 to fully fund the renovation.
Our goal is to have $76,000 committed by December 15 so that the project can be completed for the fall 2020 semester.
